About Education & Care Service
Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Burnham Country Montessori, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My experience with BCM has been absolutely wonderful. From the start, I’ve felt so well looked after. I’ve had many queries, and every single one has been answered with the utmost care and professionalism. The support I receive from everyone there is outstanding. Clear communication is a big strength at BCM – they are open, understanding, and always respectful. Their friendly manner makes such a difference, and I really appreciate how much effort they put into building positive relationships. Both of my children are doing exceptionally well, and I’m especially grateful for the amazing support my son has received. The feedback I get from the teachers about both kids’ progress and activities is always detailed and encouraging. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my children’s growth and learning. Highly recommended!”
“What an amazing place for kids to explore and develop their outdoor education skills! The peaceful farm environment is just perfect! 🌿 The teachers are super friendly and welcoming, and you can really see the positive change in our kids’ growth. The wraparound support they provide is fantastic, helping our little ones gain the best education and life skills to tackle any challenges ahead! ❤️💙 It’s truly a gem!”

“Fantastic centre with a owner, centre manager and teachers who really care. They really take the time to get to know your child and support them with both their emotional and learning development.”
“We moved our 1 year old boy into BCM from another Kindy and it was the best decision ever. He is so much happier and so are we. It's a bit of effort as we live in Rolleston but it's absolutely worth it. Amazing teachers and management. Just a happy place to send our wee one.”
